I don't know if she has made any appearances in the Jossverse but she was one of the main characters on ESPN's poker show Tilt.
As for the show it was better than I expected. Like many people here the main reason I gave it a look was because our Captain is the star. Really like the driving sequences, not ridiculously over the top like so many modern car chases, more of an old school feel. Now if they could throw in a few muscle cars from the '60s or '70s.
Edit: What's up with the cops on this show? All the crazy drivers and the only one they pull over is "Mrs. Meek" in her kiddie cruiser? I guess wreckless driving really isn't out of the ordinary in FL.
While watching I couldn't help but think of "The Long Walk" by Richard Bachman aka Stephen King. While the circumstances are a bit different both have a similar vibe.

When I heard Jubal's voice in the opening scene, I cracked up. I knew I was going to love the show. I thought I swing by here and see what others thought about it.

I had a sense of deja vu with this.
Same manner of talking as Jubal, and same gritty action as Mal. There is definitely a flavor of Firefly.
Just need to stampede horses as he drives by.

The Highlight of the show for me... the momentary euphoria when I thought I heard... I thought I had Drive on, Hmm weird I must have left firefly playing on the DVD cuzz that damn sure sounded like Early talking to Mal. No, No Drive's on... weird... OH WHAT THE HELL IT'S JUBAL EARLY! How F'n weird is that. I love it! Sept it made me sad cuzz for a second I thought, wow, maybe this isn't going to be Drive, maybe that was a psyche out and they are bringing back firefly and this is like a working out the kinks dream sequence or something. Sad, I know... but that’s how much I miss Firefly... 
~MY FEELINGS ON DRIVE~
The best way I could describe it... It takes a while for you to be ok seeing your mom happily married to another guy that's not your dad. You want your mom to be happy, but you want back what you had even though it's become more and more abundantly clear, that's probably never going to happen. That's what watching Drive made me feel like. *(Parents happily still married)

Classic FOX logic: Take a fellow well loved in the SF community; put him in an action show; then schedule it opposite one of the most popular current SF shows running. Good move.
Something is going to tape, and it ain't gonna be the captain!

It was an alright show, but frankly I never got anything from it. And I won't watch it just for Nathan. My own opinion and taste. Just as well since I tape Heroes for later viewing. And as for Tivo, if sometone would like to donate one that'd be swell.
Oh, and she was pulled over Singate because her abusive husband reported the van stolen.

Well, I forgot it was on so I missed it. Doesn't look like there is any repeat of the episode on soon, so not sure I'll watch the second part tonight. I hate coming into something even just one episode behind.

For Nathan's sake I hope it's successful. Will I watch it? Well... Monday's a slow night.

Ok...the truck...what better for our captain to pilot that a run down, face-only-a-mother-could-love jalopy of a cargo hauler...remind you of a certain spaceship? Hitting the bad man in the face with a wrench. nice Tim.
But over all I find the show kind of muddled, .. Lost started something with this "all knowing all seeing" (yes i know omnipotent & omniscient) "company" that has all the power. The protagonists seem to have no control over their lives. I've seen it again in prisonbreak and now in Drive.
You know those assholes that care way too much about cars... well thats me. I LOVE CARS. The previews for tonights show feature a 1970 Dodge Hemi challenger. the R/T Hood tells me that it probably has the 383 engine. its an aftermarket paintjob...Dodge never offered a blue on black paint scheme in 70 ...the Challenger was offered from the years 1970-1974.. It was introduced by dodge to compete with the mustang in the "pony car" category... gas shortages proved to be the end of the high output engines in 1972... the lack of demand led to the demise of the model in 1974... R/T stands for Road & Track ... the moniker is the equivelent of Chevrolets SS which stands for super sport. Dodges sister company Plymouth had a car that the challenger "cloned" ...the Baracuda ...or Cuda'It A 1970 Challenger was featured in the 1971 film "Vanishing Point" and was remade in 1996 (I think) with Viggo Mortinsen in the lead role... It was also featured again in the new Tarantino film "Death Proof" in all three films it was a white 440 hemi R/T (HEMI refers to the "hemispherical Combustion chamber" all 8 cylinder chambers looked like upsidedown soup bowls) ...very nice. a car of that caliber would fetch arround 85k - 120k at auction today.
I ramble on like that to show my desire for stupid pieces of metal from detroit... even with the car draw and the Nathan draw and the Tim Minear draw...I'm not that hooked on the show...i will give it every chance in the world though... support our captain right.

Did anyone catch that his name in the show is Detective Ehrle? Sounds an awful lot like Jubel Early to me. Nice one Tim, if thats what you meant.
